Critics Consensus

While nowhere near as painful as it could have been, The Three Stooges fails to add fresh laughs to the Stooges' inestimable cinematic legacy.

J. Hoberman Tablet The brutish schtick got old a long time ago. Aug 16, 2017 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times The architects behind There's Something About Mary and Kingpin make merry with the poking and thumping, but are ultimately far too fond of their comic heroes to make them or us truly squirm. Rated: 3/5 Aug 24, 2012 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard This could have been a truly awful summation of the work of such minor legends but it works surprisingly well. Rated: 3/5 Aug 24, 2012 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Even with their tremendous efforts, this still felt like a really good Elvis impersonator. They look like Elvis. They sound like Elvis. They shake like Elvis. But they aren’t Elvis. Rated: 2/5 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins If this weren't a movie, the three stars would certainly make a striking Vegas show.

thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/25 Full Review Arlen B Yes the story was stupid. But the physical comedy was spot on. I enjoyed it Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/03/25 Full Review Garrett P. It’s not offensive by any means, but all the style clashes kept throwing me off…and I didn’t laugh a whole lot. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review R L. This could have been so much better. Maybe it needs another shot with a better story. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/28/25 Full Review Stephen C The short films are funnier. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Faiz D Stupid, but I enjoyed it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
